MONTICELLO — Stephan Schick was formally sworn in Friday as a state Supreme Court justice at the Sullivan County Courthouse in Monticello.

Schick, the longtime head of Sullivan County Legal Aid, was elected in November to a 14-year term.

Schick and fellow Democrat Richard Mott unseated two well-regarded incumbents — E. Michael Kavanagh, a former Ulster County district attorney and most recently Supreme Court justice and appellate judge, and Bernard Malone Jr., who is also an appellate justice.
